Just started up Infinity pretty recently and have been learning with the Corregidor starter set plus a couple other purchases. Not sure what I'm going to do with the bases yet though.
Worked some more on the Yu Jing minis finished painting a Daofei and started work on a Hsien, Posted some pictures of the the finished miniature and some w.i.p pictures here
I was hoping for something better for my first post in this thread but I don't like seeing it on page 2.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.
That was my first go with secret weapon crushed glass. On the test base it came out ok but there too much mud is still showing and its absorbed some of the color on the other side so I think i'll give it a couple of days and throw on another layer.

It was the least bad of the 5 or so pics I got on my phone.

Oooh this is a good thread to have subbed. I've only painted one Infinity mini so far, so I won't have my blog added to the list. Once I get more done I'll have it added and link to specific posts involving Infinity progress.

I think he's at a "good enough" place for Infinity, he looks better than a lot of my other skirmish/army infantry, but well behind the studio minis and most of you talented/driven Infinity painters

The mod looks a bit better than 'good enough' i'd say. I think all nomads should be made to wear pink shoes! And how did you find gluing it to the clear acrylic base, no problems with frosting?
Thanks guys, I swear it's the model, he just wanted to look better than my other guys I didn't do much differently for him.
@Pacific just waiting for my replacement Teflon washer to come in and I should have a bunch of terrain knocked out on the quick, then I'll be doing nothing but posing and shooting
@BB I read up on clear acrylics before I ordered them, and took Litko's suggested products (where I ordered the bases). I use craftics #33 acrylic cement for hard plastic and restic figures (it works kind of like plastic cement for restic too which can be handy) which does not frost (though it's really foul and goopy and dries to unusability within literally 10-15 seconds). For the metal moderator I used a 2 part resin epoxy, a 5 minute dry or quick dry or whatever it's called. It's clear too and probably one of the stronger/more durable bond types you can get since it's got a tiny bit of elasticity (supposedly). I'm not sure how some of the really skinny feet or single foot on the ground dynamic poses are going to work, if I have to pin anything I'll come back with my results. Anything that doesn't balance on it's own will require special attention until the epoxy sets, then after the cure time it should be rock solid too.
